My Writings. My Thoughts.

UI Design, navigation and content management of a large healthcare application. I funneled content from a large team of managers and analysts. Content was stored in a shared Excel document that was easy to manage and update. Constructed wireframes and navigation elements. I also designed highlighted areas for instructions, helpful hints and additional sidebar elements. Using JQuery, I used Expand, Toggle and hidden/visible sections to separate content and guide the user through the application process.

The Business Forecast 2010 site uses embedded video and rich media to provide an up-to-date event website combined with archived video footage of past events. The site allows registered members to post questions for future events and sign-up, register and participate in discussions and webcasts.

Front-end design and development of HTML, CSS and javascript templates. I incorporated existing and new Flash content including video. I created a master suite of templates, graphics, library elements and menus working across all major browsers. Lead Designer on this project was Courtney Brengard at Cintas.

Since 2005, I have maintained the website and monthly newsletter for the Unitarian Church of Hinsdale (UCH). I am a member of the UCH Green Sanctuary committee which recently was formerly awarded Accredited Green Sanctuary Status by the Unitarian Universalist Association. This process was all volunteer work done over
a period of 4 years. I helped create signage, websites and display boards for fund raisers, membership events, community-led services. I have provided signage and staffing booths at fairs. I have written and spoken at services about earth conservation, environmental issues and children’s religious education. Finally, I have participated in community organization programs to recycle electronics, styrofoam, catalogs/junk mail and an energy audit.

Front-end design and development of Flash event media site of the Show Village 2009 site for Reed Business Systems, developed with Flash animated and video elements and incorporated with templates using HTML, CSS and javascript. Content for this site was also shared and updated dynamically on several other sites and electronic communications.
